Ive just bought a sony P910i which comes with TomTom already loaded onto it but it didnt come with a GPS receiever and I dont have a clue which ones are good and which are not
So, any reccommendations? I wont be using it a lot as i mainly got it for the phone but would like a reasonably quickn one, 28 or 32 channel one and it has to be bluetooth
Thanks
GPS receivers - which one?

I use TT on my P910 too! Great isn't it!?
I got an emtac one (same as the S3 one they sell for £120) from expansys a while ago. to be honest, the technology has moved on since I got mine and there are probably faster ones out there, but I honestly don't notice. It was cheap enough, and can keep up with my driving, so that's plenty good enough!
Although a better spec one may be better for posing value, it isn't actually needed! Just shell out on what you think you want really!

yeah, that reciever will be OK.
On car mounts, I found that the only one i've ever been happy with is the pucker SE one married to this windcreen mount, The others all seem a bit cheap and nasty to me, but that one you posted should do the job......
PM me for speed camera software..... There is a place that sells a database that you can put in, and it is pretty cheap, but it used to be free, and I have the latest version on the free one they did! It's not the (dogs dangly bits) latest one, but it is certainly pretty comprehensive!

Can you use the speed camera softare at the same time as the TomTom or does it just cut in every now and again?

PM sent.
It loads a database into the map on your device, so it all works at the same time through tomtom.
